Following its earlier push in the PC system market with Bulldog barebone, Corsair has now unveiled its fully-assembled PC system called the One.

Based on a custom PC case that uses a 140mm ML-series exhaust fan at the top, a system similar to Apple's Mac Pro, the Corsair One PC systems are based on liquid-cooled Intel's Core i7-7700K Kaby Lake CPU and a wide choice of air- and liquid-cooled Nvidia GPUs, like the GTX 1070, GTX 1080 and even the GTX 1080 Ti.

Some of the components come directly from Corsair, like the SFX SF500 and SF400 PSUs, Force LE series SSDs, and Vengeance LPX DDR4 memory.

The One PC systems from Corsair are pretty compact and do not follow the RGB LED design seen on some recent hardware, which is definitely a bonus in our book. Two simple strips of cold blue LEDs are located on each side of the front panel and even those can be disabled.

Currently, there are four different SKUs to choose from, including the standard One and the One Pro. The One comes with an air-cooled Nvidia GTX 1070 and a 240GB SDD/1TB HDD storage, while the One Pro features a liquid cooled GTX 1080 and 480GB SSD/2TB HDD storage.

There are also two exclusive SKUs, the One Pro Corsair webshop exclusive, which gets a 960GB SSD and the One Pro with GTX 1080 Ti, which will also be sold exclusively from Corsair and feature a Geforce GTX 1080 Ti graphics card.

The standard One and One Pro should start shipping later this month with a price set at US $1,800 and US $2,200, which might sound a bit too high but not unless you count a two year warranty and hand-picked components squeezed inside a custom case. The exclusive Corsair webshop SKUs, are currently listed at US $2,300 and US $2,600.

With virtual reality gaining traction with Oculus Rift and HTC Vive VR headsets and with system requirements getting lower, MSI has decided that it is the right time to come up with a small and portable gaming system that is also VR-Ready, the MSI Trident.

Describing it as the "smallest VR-Ready gaming PC", MSI has come up with a gaming rig packed in a 4.7L chassis with quite decent hardware packed inside it. The MSI Trident will be coming with a choice between Intel Core i5-6400 or Core i7-6700 Skylake CPU and custom Nvidia Geforce GTX 1060 graphics card with either 3GB or 6GB of memory.

In order to keep it well cooled, MSI used its own Silent Storm Cooling 2, which promises to both provide best possible cooling efficiency but also low noise.

The rest of the specifications include support for up to 32GB of DDR4-2133 memory in two SO-DIMM slots, one 2.5-inch HDD/SSD and one M.2 SATA SSD slot, integrated Intel WGI219V Gigabit Ethernet and dual-band 802.11ac WiFi + Bluetooth 4.2, 230W PSU, single USB 3.1 Type-C and three USB 3.1 Type-A ports, one VR-Link HDMI-out port, couple of USB 2.0 ports and more.

The MSI Trident measures 353.73x251.35x97.56mm without a stand and can be used with a vertical stand. It is designed to fit in any room and even comes with MSI Gaming Mystic Light RGB LEDs.

Unfortunately, MSI did not provide any details regarding the price but did note that it should be coming sometime by the end of this month so we will surely keep an eye on it.

Sony has confirmed that the PlayStation 3 will get system update 4.30 starting on October 23rd. The big deal with this update is that you can view PlayStation Vita game trophies on your PlayStation 3.

As with the recent Microsoft dashboard update for the Xbox 360, Sony will be taking some stuff away, as well. Life with PlayStation application will no longer be offered to new users starting with the 4.30 update. In addition, support for the Folding@Home distributed computing project will also be coming to an end.

Sony claims that the PS3 was a game changer for Folding@Home, with it being an exceptional way to use the GPU inside the PS3. Over 15 million users have participated in the Folding@Home program and have contributed more than 100 million computational hours to the project.

Online retailer Amazon has come up with a way of defeating dodgy postal systems. One of the company's biggest problems are packages that have to be refunded going missing.

In some countries, such as Italy, postal workers seem to supplement their income by taking home packages, particularly those which come from the US. So far 30 per cent of packages sent to our address have been nicked.

Amazon is testing a new package system and is installing Amazon Lockers in shops that accept packages for customers for a later pickup. The system was successfully tested in Seattle, New York state and near Washington, so the company is now ramping up the service. Locker sites are currently being installed in the San Francisco Bay area.

It means that people who are not home can be sure that they get their mail. But Amazon will also know if a package has been delivered. This means that people can't say that they never got their package and ask for a refund. If it does go missing then Amazon will know about it.

Fiona Dias, chief strategy officer for ShopRunner said home-delivery has always been an issue for e-commerce in Europe and Japan, and is growing in the U.S. People have been following UPS trucks around and to steal packages from doorsteps.

Customers who ship their item to a locker—typically in 7-Elevens, grocery or chain drugststores—are emailed a code after a package arrives that unlocks the door holding their merchandise. The lockers can hold only smaller items that weigh less than 10 pounds, such as books, DVDs or electronic devices like iPads. Users have several days to retrieve their merchandise.

It appears that PvP game and related systems haven't really met Blizzard's quality control standards as the company announced that Diablo III will in fact launch without the PvP Arena system.

The company said that the decision took a lot of discussion and consideration. Blizzard thinks it would simply be "punishing to everyone who’s waiting to enjoy the campaign and core solo/co-op content, all of which is just about complete."

When the PvP arrives, it will feature Arena maps with themed locations, PvP achievements and a matchmaking system. Apparently, there will also be a personal progression system.

The final part of the statement reads:"We know a lot of you are looking forward to PvP, and we’ll be focusing our post-launch efforts on making sure the Arenas are as brutal, bloody, fast-paced, and awesome as we know they can be. In the meantime, we’re in the process of putting the finishing touches on what we think is a truly epic campaign and co-op experience for launch."

Google's patent counsel, Tim Porter, has told the San Francisco Chronicle that the US patent system is broken. He said that for too long, the patent office granted protection to broad, vague or unoriginal ideas masquerading as inventions and that is given rise to the current daft situation.

Companies including Oracle, Apple and Microsoft all claim that Android is built on technology protected by their patents. Oracle sued Google while Apple and Microsoft have gone after the companies using the software, demanding injunctions against selling devices or licensing fees.

Major players have been buying up intellectual-property holdings of companies like Novell and Nortel. Porter explained that the perpetual legal rows are sucking up time and resources that would otherwise go toward pushing this technology forward and developing the next disruptive inventions.

More news regarding the upcoming Kinect launch is starting to trickle in. The latest of the tidbits we are hearing indicates that Kinect will have some requirements that you will have to follow in order to get the best performance out of the device.

Pictures that are circulating of a supposed copy of the Kinect manual say that users need to be between 6 feet for one player to 8 feet for two players from the Kinect sensor in order to obtain optimum performance. With space requirements such as this, you are going to need some room in front of your console as well as a properly sized display to see what you are doing.

This isn’t all we have found out. Apparently, you will need to keep those lights on, as Kinect functions best when you have the lights on while playing Kinect. In addition, if you do have issues with the Kinect sensor tracking you, you might need to try wearing different colored attire that has colors that stand out from the background behind you. Of course, sunlight reflecting in through a window can also have the potential to cause a problem, so you might want to make sure that no sunlight is shining in the room and hitting the sensor.

While the requirements are not really all that surprising, it could be that the space requirements might be a bit much for some gamers in smaller areas. We can see that those looking to enjoy their Kinect might have to rearrange the configuration of their gaming area to maximize the performance of Kinect.

Those who are eagerly awaiting the arrival of Kinect might want to start thinking about where they are going to place it and how they are going to use it. A number of third-party accessories are in the pipeline to help you place and mount your Kinect in the right spot and start expecting to hear more about these stands and mounting options in the weeks ahead.
